1 Overview This document has been produced by the BSH as part of JCOMM/ETSI in response to a requirement to produce an ice data product that can be used within Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems.

1.1 Introduction

Ice Information Product Specification product specification is based on the IHO S-100 framework specification, Geography Markup Language (GML) Encoding Standard and the ISO 19100 series of standards. It is a vector product specification that is primarily intended for encoding the extent and nature of Sea Ice for navigational purpose.

1.2 References

S-100 IHO Universal Hydrographic Data Model GML OpenGIS® Geography Markup Language (GML) Encoding Standard (Version 3.2.1)

1.3 Terms, definitions and abbreviations

1.3.1 Use of Language

“Must” indicates a mandatory requirement.

“Should” indicates an optional requirement, that is the recommended process to be followed, but is not mandatory.

“May” means “allowed to” or “could possibly”, and is not mandatory.

Title: Ice Information Abstract: Ice information for ship navigation Content: Ice features as vector data Spatial Extent: Description: East Bounding Longitude: -180 West Bounding Longitude: 180 North Bounding Latitude: 90 South Bounding Latitude: -90 Purpose: Navigation in ice covered regions


1.5 Data product specification metadata

Title: Ice Information Product Specification S-100 Version: 1.0.0 S-411 Version: 1.0.0 Date: 28.02.2013 Language: English Contact: Jürgen Holfort ([email protected]) Identifier: JCOMM S-411 Maintenance: Changes to this product specification are coordinated by ETSI. 1.5.1 Product Specification Maintenance

1.5.1.1 Introduction

Changes to JCOMM S-411 will be released by the IHO as a new edition, revision, or clarification. 1.5.1.2 New Edition

New Editions of S-10n introduce significant changes. New Editions enable new concepts, such as the ability to support new functions or applications, or the introduction of new constructs or data types. New Editions are likely to have a significant impact on either existing users or future users of S-10n. 1.5.1.3 Revisions

Revisions are defined as substantive semantic changes to S-10n. Typically, revisions will change S-10n to correct factual errors; introduce necessary changes that have become evident as a result of practical experience or changing circumstances. A revision must not be classified as a clarification. Revisions could have an impact on either existing users or future users of S-10n. All cumulative clarifications must be included with the release of approved corrections revisions. Changes in a revision are minor and ensure backward compatibility with the previous versions within the same Edition. Newer revisions, for example, introduce new features and attributes. Within the same Edition, a dataset of one version could always be processed with a later version of the feature and portrayal catalogues. In most cases a new feature or portrayal catalogue will result in a revision of S-10n. 1.5.1.4 Clarification

Clarifications are non-substantive changes to S-10n. Typically, clarifications: remove ambiguity; correct grammatical and spelling errors; amend or update cross references; insert improved graphics in spelling, punctuation and grammar. A clarification must not cause any substantive semantic change to S-10n. Changes in a clarification are minor and ensure backward compatibility with the previous versions within the same Edition. Within the same Edition, a dataset of one clarification version could always be processed with a later version of the feature and portrayal catalogues, and a portrayal catalogue can always rely on earlier versions of the feature catalogues. Changes in a clarification are minor and ensure backward compatibility with the previous versions 1.5.1.5 Version Numbers

The associated version control numbering to identify changes (n) to S-10n must be as follows: New Editions denoted as n.0.0 Revisions denoted as n.n.0 Clarifications denoted as n.n.n

4.4 Dataset Types

4.4.1 Introduction

At the moment is only one type of dataset supported. This is GML(XML) encoded ice feature collections.

4.5 Geometry

Ice Information datasets use S-100 Level 3a geometry which supports 0-, 1-, and 2-dimensional objects (points, line strings, and polygons).

Figure 3: Geometric Primitives in Ice Information Product

There are three types of geometry: Point, Line String and Polygon. Multi-geometries will be not supported. The standard geometries of GML where redefined for S-411. The reason for this is to reduce file sizes. It is only possible to use “posList” with blanks separated coordinate values, like

-73.991 40.736 -73.991 40.736

For standard GML it would be also possible to use following (DO NOT USE THIS):

-73.991 40.736

-73.991 40.736

Which means much more chars in the file and growing of file size. All multi-geometries must be splitted into single geometries. Encoding for geometry is GML: Point encoding example:


Polygon encoding example:

22.546 62.391 25.033 62.404 24.995 60.182 22.483

60.169 22.546 62.391

23.227 61.811 23.467 61.306 24.023 61.621 24.035

61.621 23.227 61.811

5 Coordinate Reference Systems (CRS) For exchange of ice data WGS84 (EPSG: 4326) must be used.

6 Data Quality As ice charts are done for different purposes (from weekly overview to tactical charts and further to model forecasts) data quality can differ. Differences can also be found between ice charts of the same region and same nominal date resulting from different issuing agencies or also from different forecasts models. Further information can be found in the WMO publication 574.

7 Data Capture and Classification The data will be captured normally from satellite data. The extraction and classification will be done by ice analysts. In some areas of the world (e.g. the Baltic Sea) in addition also some direct shore and ship based observations and textual ice reports from ice authorities will be used. Further information can be found in the WMO publication 574.

8 Data Product format (encoding)

8.1 Introduction

This clause describes encoding rules for S-100 base ice datasets. For encoding of ice datasets GML 3.2.1 was used.

8.2 Encoding Rules

8.2.1 Longitude / Latitude

Longitude and latitude must be encoded in decimal degrees, e.g. : 12.567 56.765

Number of decimals is not limited, but it should be as less as possible for minimizing of file size, normally 3 or even 2 digits are enough

8.2.2 Elements and attributes

Names of elements representing ice features or attributes (from IceFDC dictionary see Table 1: Summary of Types) must be encoded with lower case letters

Names of elements representing features or attributes from other dictionaries must be encoded with upper case letters

Character Set is UTF-8

Elements or attributes may be empty, but it should be eliminated for minimizing of file size

8.3 Encoding Examples

Below there are examples of encoding of three ice features used different geometric primitive, encoding of other ice objects can be done in the similar way. 8.3.1 Polygon Feature

22.546 62.391 25.033 62.404 24.995 60.182 22.483 60.169 22.546 62.391

23.227 61.811 23.467 61.306 24.023 61.621 24.035 61.621 23.227 61.811

9 Data Product Delivery

9.1 Introduction

Ice Information Product will be delivered as Exchange Set, containing dataset itself, metadata, etc. There is also possible that several charts are available for an area. The decision, which one is to use, should make the responsible navigator on the vessel.

9.2 Exchange Set

Exchange set for Ice Information Product has following structure:

Figure 4: Exchange Set Structure

9.2.1 Exchange Set Naming

Name of Exchange Set has following structure:


S411_ProducerCode_DatasetNameWithoutEnding

Example: S411_BSH_ek1-20130305-17

Exchange Set can be a simple data folder, but it is recommended to zip this folder for minimizing of file size. In this case name of Exchange Set looks like: S411_ProducerCode_DatasetNameWithoundEnding.zip

Example: S411_BSH_ek1-20130305-17.zip

or if .tar.gz compressing algorithm is in use: S411_ProducerCode_DatasetNameWithoutEnding.tar.gz

Example: S411_BSH_ek1-20130305-17.tar.gz

9.3 Dataset

9.3.1 Dataset Naming

The data producer are free to choose file name for data set. The ending or postfix must be “*.gml”. Example: ek1-20130305-17.gml

9.4 Support Files

9.4.1 Support File Naming

There are no restrictions for support file naming. But it is important to describe the files in the exchange catalogue file. 9.4.1.1 ISO Metadata File

The metadata for Dataset based on ISO 19139/19115, is also official S-100 Metadata with mandatory file identifier. ( See Chapter 10) 9.4.1.2 Portrayal, Symbology

The portrayal (display instructions) should be a part of system, installed on board. But as option display instructions could be a part of exchange set, that means the display instruction xml file and svg symbols can be delivered within the exchange set as support files. 9.4.1.3 SVG Graphics

9.4.1.4 Readme

9.5 Exchange Catalogue

9.5.1 Exchange Catalogue Naming

Name of Exchange Catalogue is

CATALOG.ICE

11 Maintenance

11.1 Maintenance and Update Frequency

Ice information datasets should be maintained if a new dataset of region and provider is available. There is no updating mechanism necessary, because the datasets itself will not updated. The old one have to be replaced with new one.

12.1 Rules

main.xsl includes all the rules for single feature types. It manages the selection of right rule

depends on current feature type in dataset and parameters in iceDisplayParameters.xml.

iceDisplayParameters.xml contains parameters important for display of ice features:

String iceclass

Boolean encoverlay

String Display Mode

Depends on iceclass parameter the right seaice or lacice rule can be selected. Default is *_class_III.xsl


The encoverlay parameter helps to calculate the priority for display of single ice feature types. If

encoverlay is true, the priority will be calculated, depending on priority of land area feature in ENC.

The area objects of ice features should be displayed under the land area polygons, because they usually be drawn over the land.
